that port directly on the host — which is also what lets pi reach a llama-server
running on the same machine at `localhost`.

## Workspace paths

For a native installation, set `WORKSPACE_ROOT` to the directory containing your
projects. The legacy `WORKSPACES_DIR` variable is also accepted when
`WORKSPACE_ROOT` is unset. If both are set, `WORKSPACE_ROOT` wins; with neither
set, the server uses `/workspaces`.

With the supplied Compose files, `WORKSPACES_DIR` selects the **host** directory
mounted at `/workspaces`. Keep the portal's `WORKSPACE_ROOT=/workspaces` so it
uses the path visible inside its container.
